While it’s cold and snowing outside, are you dreaming of summer? The hot sun, a cool cocktail, and your favorite bikini are waiting for you, and they will be here before you know it!
It may seem early, but now is the time to start getting ready if you want to put your best skin forward this summer.
Why Now?
Winter can be the best time to consider cosmetic treatments. Many of these treatments can give you significant results, but it requires a little time. That’s because certain treatments call for multiple sessions spaced far enough apart to get optimal benefits. In addition, many treatments work over time so that optimal effects appear several months after your treatment. This can be a benefit if you want gradual, natural-looking results. But if you want them by summer, now is the time to start.
Our Favorite Winter Treatments
Here are some of our favorite options to start now for great outcomes by summer.
Emsulpt Neo
Emsculpt Neo is a complete revolution when it comes to body contouring cosmetic treatments. Not only does it rival the efficacy of other non-invasive fat-reduction techniques, removing fat exactly where you want to target, but it also builds muscle tone without you needing to lift a finger at the gym. You heard right, Emsculpt Neo reduces fat by up to 30% while simultaneously increasing muscle in the treatment area by up to 25%.
So, if you want a lean, toned body by summer, look no further than Emsculpt Neo. We recommend starting treatments in mid-winter if you are seeking to see the full results by early summer. Four treatments are usually spaced three to ten days apart, and your peak results should appear between six and twelve weeks after your final session, making the winter months the perfect time to get started on your way to your dream beach body.
Vein Treatment
Visible veins can unfortunately put a damper on bathing suit season. We hear from many patients who avoid showing skin due to spider veins. But the good news is that there are multiple treatment options to effectively reduce the appearance of veins, and now is the time to get started.
Whether you choose laser vein treatment or sclerotherapy (an injectable treatment), the procedures target and kill visible veins. Your body will reabsorb the tissue over time, resulting in more even skin. Both treatments are effective, although you may require more than one treatment session, and full results typically occur within a couple of months.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is one of out most popular cosmetic treatments to start over the winter. IPL is a preferred option because it offers faster, gentler treatment and can be effective on all skin types. Light energy targets pigments in the hair shaft, incapacitating the follicle and preventing further growth.
Because IPL targets hair pigments (that means the color that resides within the hair), the fact your skin may be less tan in winter months than in the summer can work to your advantage, making the treatment even more effective. Also, because hair grows in stages, and different hairs are at different parts of their life cycle at any given time, multiple sessions are needed for more complete hair reduction. So, like the other treatments we mentioned, winter is a great time to get started!
Get Started Now!
While all of these treatments are minimally invasive and can promise very little downtime, you still may want to account for time to fully recover and allow results to appear. Given the right timeline, you will be sure to see dramatic results just in time to bare that beautiful skin!
